Question

which process produces the most variation?
budding
meiosis
mitosis
cloning

Explanation:

Budding, mitosis, and cloning are all asexual processes that produce genetically identical offspring with no new genetic variation. Meiosis is a sexual reproductive process that includes crossing over (exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes) and independent assortment of chromosomes, which generates significant genetic variation in the resulting gametes.

Answer:

B. Meiosis
